							Caller ID Ring No-Answer (RNA)
Description:This feature offers telephone users the ability to review calls that ring at their stations while
they are away. The system stores caller ID RNA records and allows users to review them and
use one-button dialing to return those calls that need returning. The feature also denotes the
identification of the last station that reviewed the records thus helping prevent multiple call
backs to the same number. After users review the caller ID RNA records, the system deletes the
records from their telephones yet retains them in the SMDA storage so that they can look at
them later if they must. For complete caller ID programming, refer to Section 14.1.

Ring No-Answer Rings
Description:This procedure sets the amount of rings that sound at one station port before the call rolls over

example, call forwarding) uses the setting that you program here.
The system defaults the ring no-answer value at regular station ports to four rings, and it
defaults ports programmed to function as voice mail ports to three rings. This insure that, at
default, the voice mail equipment will have sufficient time to answer a call before it rolls over
to the next port.

7.2.23Ringing On Busy (Enhanced Subdued Ringing)Description:
When a telephone is busy on a call and another call comes to that telephone, the system subdues
the ringing of the second call to a lower volume but allows the call to continue to ring at this
subdued volume until the caller abandons it. The system shortens the ringing of another call to
model 8024S, 8124S, 8012S, and 8112s speakerphones that are busy in the speakerphone mode
to one quick tone burst; however, if these telephones are busy in an off-hook manner
(non-speakerphone mode), the system still subdues the ringing of the second call to a lower
volume and allows the call to continue to ring at this subdued volume until the caller abandons
the call.
If a user does not wish to hear subdued ringing while he or she is busy on a call (even the one
quick tone burst on those particular models that provide it) you can take this programming
action to eliminate all ringing by a second call.
